Well that Hacker found a way around it, this can Be done, there is no way people are gonna listen to MS with their sh*tty plans
Since all they want is to do earn an extra more money from their clients and force them to buy Asta La Vista, then I'm like nick-off you MS basterds, the way that the 19 year old Hacker did is possible, all what MS did is make a code in DX10 so you won't be able to use it in older NT OS'es and that code has been cracked, really Vista is the biggest BS OS that ever was made or even invented!
It doesn't even look professional since there's a load of crap in it, it's like WinXP pro but then there's like 6000 times more crap in it, I can understand that it ins't a safe thing to work with and that it's in most cases 40 to 60% slower than Win2000 Pro as the Unentended version of XP Pro...
Also a reason why many see it as Asta La Vista, it will cost you money and if you have troubles with it it will only cost you extra :')
Anexample Ya know the game Battlefield2 + it's Mission Pack Speacial Forces?
Well that game's manual specification data says that this program requires Windows XP, So what I did was oh yeah really? Heh I got the game and installed it under Windows 2000 Pro just to see if that BS was really true
which wasn't.
the game installed without problems then when I started running it I got this message saying:
You are about to run this program on an unknown Operating System, use at own risk
hahah D'oooh!
after clicking the OK tab the game loaded properly and I could even download updates and it kept on running fine even with internet as LAN battles there were no problems.
MS isn't that smart as they seemed to be, even putting ghey like tekst's on the games also from EA for example thereby also forcing the people to go to XP Pro back then, teh n00bs
And hey if the most gamers refuse to take Vista MS will have to make DX10 work on XP Pro @ least
